"Before we get to the rest of the information: we dedicate this release to the memory of Eugeni Dodonov, our friend, our colleague and a great inspiration to those he left behind. We miss his brilliance, his courtesy and his dedication."

Special Thanks

Trish adds not leastly special thanks reminding readers that Mageia would not be possible without the help of those in the community who selflessly gave of their time in fulfillment of the project, including the valued sponsors Gandi and Ielo:

"Our heartfelt thanks go to all the people who donated their time to make this release possible, and all the people who donated money allowing us to buy the servers that we use to build the distribution."
